Curved shower door is a specialty item and not typically available in large scale home remodeling stores. A hinged shower door is supported by two or more hinges and opens like a traditional door while a sliding door rests on a track and is pushed to one side to allow entry. Framed doors are surrounded with a thin metal molding that supports and decorates the shower door. An unframed door has very minimal hardware, creating the illusion that the door is floating.
For non-standard sizes, some Curved Shower Doors must be custom made. These are usually very expensive and take several weeks to complete. Whether Curved Shower Doors are hinged or sliding depends on the design of the shower itself. In the smallest corner showers, there is insufficient room for a sliding door and a hinged door must be used. On larger showers, either hinged or sliding doors can be used. Both acrylic and glass doors are available in clear, frosted, and opaque designs. Frosted and opaque styles provide more shower privacy, but don’t allow the tile or stone of the shower to be visible.
